"Griffin's Academy is the place I've been searching to learn & grow in martial arts. He's a phenomenal teacher who's EXTREMELY passionate about teaching and creating a safe, structured (and fun) learning environment. He's students is Chris' only priority... doesn't matter if you're training to compete, for self defense, fitness or for the art of it. You WILL get in shape... (I literally lost 5 lbs my first week). ... AND... you'll definitely get your monies worth for all the disciplines & conditioning taught there. Most places charge twice the amount of Chris' monthly membership for ONE discipline... here you're offered Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (gi & no gi), Boxing, Submission Grappling and MMA Training... (its almost a steal!!) I HIGHLY recommend Griffin's Submission Academy to anyone and everyone."

"Love gong to GSA and rolling and to learn BJJ. I moved to Louisville 2 years ago and scouted the area for a couple of weeks for a good BJJ gym. Chris was was very inviting, a great teacher, and easy to get along with. I picked GSA for its well rounded diversity of coaches all at different belt levels and in multiple martial arts. There is something to do every day from beginner to advanced. He doesn't treat people like clients he treats them like friends and urges them and pushes them in a good way to be the best they can on the mat. ... Multiple students have gone on to win medals or fights with Griff's help and coaching. He does a great job of pulling other instructors from gyms to come teach seminars and Carlson Gracie Jr. has even stopped by a few times. No. Big. Deal. It may not be big and flashy but who needs that? Great coaches, good people, and mat are all you need to be successful."
